Society is weary of itself

Every age/society grows tired and weary of itself. The great changes brought about by individuals that are credited with providing change really occur because society has become sick of itself. Mostly it doesn’t know that it is sick of itself but someone always feels the temperature, the pain in the gut, the inability to get up and walk, the dread in the night. Or maybe the agent of change could have innocently arrived at his or her mode of changing through invention or done unintentionally because the intention was of another matter. But change never arrives out of the blue, so to speak. Not even by those who do not suffer in the sick society and will the idea of change for change sake because they have learned their history. Their conscious belief dictates to them and their ego delivers. But this is pure selfishnness.

Societies throughout all the ages of human history are like living organisms and have a lifespan. Ultimately as the life is coming to an end they reflect back on themselves and destroy from within. The joy is gone. The belief in self is gone. The growth has ended. The offspring have left home and are on their own. There is nothing more to want or to get or to have. It is now sick and dying.
